Growing up in America, Sarah could be found climbing trees, imagining worlds with her siblings, or lost in a book. In her twelve years as a teacher, she saw first-hand how teens have the power to spark positive change. She loves learning and searches for stories where history, nature, and empathy intersect. Her personal experience with dyslexia inspired The Weaver and the Wildcat. England has been Sarah’s home for over a decade. She lives with her husband and two children, who love books as much as her.
